Taipei 101, also known as the Taipei Financial Center, previously was the world’s tallest building at 509.2 meters prior to construction of the 828-meter Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Now the Taiwanese tower is hoping to claim another world’s tallest crown: tallest green building. The 101-story tower is targeting LEED platinum EB, which officials hope to earn by June 2011.
